and 
. Then solve your problem.
Answer Key/Rubric
- Divide
by 
and you will get 
. Students should answer that he can only make 7 full size hamburgers and have some meat left over. - Divide
by

cups by the measuring cup size of cup 
and you will get 
or simplified to 
times you will fill the measuring cup - Acceptable answers may include, but are not limited to:
- Area = length times width
- Use inverse operation of multiplication, which is division, to solve for missing width
- Width =
feet
- Couches will fit because 8 + 8 = 16 feet which is less than
- Answers will vary.
